We've put together this recording package to make it easy for you to get the essential components you need with just one purchase, and at a price that's much more affordable than if you purchased everything individually. Included in this package is the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 USB Audio Interface, a pair of Alesis Elevate 3 studio monitors, a pair of AKG M80 MKII Headphones, an MXL 990 condenser microphone, and all the accessories and cables you need to get set up.

Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 USB Audio InterfaceMobile recording is at an all-time high and you need an audio interface that can maintain optimal performance at any moment when inspiration strike. The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 is right tool for the job. With two award-winning Focusrite preamps packed into a compact, anodized aluminum uni-body chassis, the Scarlett 2i2 not only produces professional quality sound but also looks great doing it.

Alesis Elevate 3 Studio MonitorsWhile it's true that the Alesis Elevate 3 monitors are not designed to be a main set of speakers in major recording and prost production facilities, they are however an excellent and affordable decision for your home computer desktop or small project-based studio. Alesis Elevate 3 monitors come as a stereo-matched pair to provide a clear, full sound for your multimedia content and more. Built using technology adopted from Alesis' award-winning Monitor One and M1 Active professional studio monitors, Elevate 3 Studio Monitors are the perfect way to upgrade your computer or mobile device experience. Each speaker is housed in a handmade, custom wood cabinet that helps provide natural bass and feature an elliptical waveguide with Directional Articulation technology. You'll also have the ability to increase power and bass extension by connecting an optional powered subwoofer.

AKG M80 MKII HeadphonesThe AKG circumaural M 80 MkII headphones have an adjustable headband, leatherette earpads, and a single-sided cable. An 18Hz-20kHz frequency response offers deep bass and sparkling transients - great for tracking. These headphones offer good quality sound at a very reasonable price. Buying multiple headphone sets for tracking can really stress a studio budget. You can hand these out to band members in your studio without apology, and without breaking your bank.

MXL 990 Condenser Studio Microphone with ShockmountThe MXL 990 Condenser Microphone with shock mount has a silky, sweet high end while retaining tight, solid low and midrange reproduction. The 3/4" gold-sputtered diaphragm creates a professional sound suited for digital and analog recording. Attractive vintage body style with champagne finish. The 30Hz-20kHz frequency response is ideal for lead and background vocal, male or female. Includes custom shock mount, mic stand adapter, and case. Remember folks, this mic requires phantom power, so make sure your console or interface delivers it before ordering.

This is a great recording package! I love it! I bought it to kickstart my home studio and it works great right now. This package has all the bells and whistles including all the necessary cables. It is definitely worth the price.

The MXL 990 microphone has a nice smooth sound to it. It gives for some nice voice-overs and it works great as an instrumental mic as well.

The 2i2 interface is terrific. There are no analog to digital signal problems at all, and you dont need to buy a direct box if your going to record any instrument with a quarter inch. You just plug the quarter straight in with the 2-in-1 input.

The Alesis speakers are good but not great. For me personally, they work perfect. They don't give a whole lot of low end, but, if you look them up on Muscician's Friend.com, it even states that they are for amateur recording monitors. Overall I love them personally, but it's your preference not mine.

The AKG headphones are great. They are comfortable to wear for long periods of time, and they deliver a nice sound to them.

The boom stand, pop filter and cables are all pretty basic, but hey, it's what you need.

Overall, this Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 MXL 990 recording package is amazing. It delivers the best possible offer for the start of a home studio. I love this recording package and hope you would too.

The first 2i2 that I received didn't work, so it was exchanged. The new one works fine. The package includes the wrong monitor cables. The 2i2's monitor outputs are TRS type. I'm surprised that no one has said anything about that. Overall, not too bad.

I needed an upgrade from my 8 year old M-Audio, and this seemed like the perfect set-up. Add in that I also never had a decent vocal mic, needed better headphones, and this package came with monitors? I'm sold! Granted, if you've been recording with better gear, this may not be for you. However, if you're like me and just like to record demo's, song ideas, or voice-overs at home, this is a great deal.

The Scarlett sounds great, definitely an upgrade from my old FastTrack. My guitars don't sound as "harsh" now as they did with the M-Audio.The mic has a presence boost, which can annoy some people, but it is great for voice-overs.The headphones can get a little uncomfortable after a long session, but sound great.The monitors are loud and clear, but need a sub for that thump!This package comes with all the cables you'll need which is great!The included software is not bad. I've been using Ableton for a few years now, so I didn't need the lite version, and the effects suite is average, but for real mixing I would look elsewhere. I don't really use keyboards in my music so I didn't mess with that vst.

The only thing I would urge is not using the included mic stand. It feels cheap, so I changed it out with a better one I had, and I just use the included one on stage. It's not great for the big mic, but for a live setting, works great.

All in all you get what you pay for, but in this case, it's a very good deal. If you want more bang for your buck, there's the other packages on here, but in my case, this worked out perfectly.
